They have detected increased biochemical signatures that lead them to believe she has been having sexual intercourse without a properly filed Intimate Partnership Agreement (IPA). The IPA’s are for her protection to ensure that any potential partners are disease free. Initially, she denies the accusations, but the evidence from her Livewell stream is overwhelming. This time, it’s just a fine, but if it happens again the punishments will get more severe, all the way up to having points deducted from her social confidence rating.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>BOOK LINK</strong>: Download the accompanying short story <a href="https://www.amazon.com/After-Dinner-Conversation-Magazine-February-ebook/dp/B08MFKPVC4" target="">here</a>.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>COMPANION PODCAST: </strong><a href="https://www.afterdinnerconversation.com/podcastaudiobooks">Listen</a> to our audiobook readings of After Dinner Conversation short stories (“Philosophy | Ethics Short Story Audiobooks”).</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>MAGAZINE</strong>: Sign up for our <a href="https://www.afterdinnerconversation.com/subscribe/monthly" target="">monthly magazine</a> and receive short stories that ask ethical and philosophical questions.
